How to Eat a Well-Balanced Diet
Each person has their own unique health demands, there is no one-size-fits-all eating plan that will work for everyone. What does a nutritious, well-balanced diet need?
Consume a lot of fruits and vegetables.
Wholegrain bread and crackers, brown or wild rice, oatmeal, and barley are all examples of wholegrain foods. They are made with whole grain. Fiber, protein, and B vitamins in wholegrain foods help you stay healthy and fuller for longer.
Protein-rich foods should be consumed.
Nuts, seeds, tofu, fish, shellfish, eggs, low-fat milk, low-fat yogurts, and low-fat cheeses are all good sources of protein. Protein aids in the development and maintenance of bones, muscles, and skin.
Ensure that you consume enough water.
Water is good for your health and keeps you hydrated without adding calories to your diet. Sugary drinks, such as energy drinks, fruit drinks, 100% fruit juice, soft drinks, and flavored coffees, are high in sugar and low in nutritious value.
Even if it's 100 percent fruit juice, stay away from it. Fruit juice should not be used as a substitute for fresh fruits. Everyone should consume their fruits rather than drink them.

【推荐1】Our eating habits（习惯)are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.
A long time ago, in England, some judges (法官)used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.

【推荐2】Developing healthy eating habits starts from childhood, therefore it is important for parents to teach and provide children with a healthy diet. DHSS administrator of the Bureau of Nutrition Services, Charlie Morris told KUAM News, “A healthy diet for a child consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables in the diet limiting the amount of simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed food. ”
This means staying away as much as possible from food such as chips, cookies, candies and sugary drinks, as all children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced diet. Community nutritionist Thelma Romoso said, “The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the protein, and also the milk, the diary product, so for the fruits it’s easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept of fruits and vegetables or five a day. ”
This concept means that there are at least two servings of fruits a day, three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner. As for protein parents can make a variety of dishes from chicken, beef, fish or even dried beans to make sure the child gets three servings a day.
Morris said that the child’s hunger level controls how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered, saying, “Mom needs to ensure that the food offered is good food for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active they are, snacks are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good kinds of snacks. ”
When it comes to preparing your child’s lunch and snacks for school, make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally beneficial such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical activity, namely it is important that children get outside and run around and play and get activity in addition to eating a good diet.

【推荐3】Teenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults．
A study， which involved nearly 1，400 high school students found those who watched TV for five hours or more every day had less healthy diets than other students five years later． Why does this happen？ Should the parents take any measures？
On the one hand， people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV， especially teenagers， may snack （吃零食） more， and that may influence their long-term diet quality．
On the other hand， TV ads for fast food， sweets and snacks make teenagers eat more of those foods． TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids．
The researchers found a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality of the young． While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food， those who'd watched fewer than two hours every day had the most fruits and vegetables．
As far as I am concerned， children should watch no more than two hours of television per day． And parents should set a good example by eating right， being physically active and curbing their own TV time．
